Help for ex-Visio user! Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Hi all,

I recently switched to a Mac and OmniGraffle Pro 5, after many years using Visio.

I haven't done much work yet, but there's a few Visio features I used, and can't so far find equivalents to. Maybe someone could point me to them, or just confirm they don't exist if that's the case, in which case I may ask for them to be added to a future version...

1 - add page header/footer for printed output - ability to include page name (canvas), date, page numbering etc.
2 - tell OG5 to automatically shrink (proportionally) printed output to fit a larger canvas onto a single page

Cheers,

Nige
 
You can hand-roll header information by using the text variables that are in the Edit Menu --> Insert Variable submenu, using these in conjunction with Shared Layers should facilitate header and footer information, you will have to manually create the header and footer, however.

There's a checkbox in the Canvas Size Inspector to print to a single printer sheet.

Cheers,
